Fishing, anyone?

We communicate to understand one another. Sometimes, we don't need to, as body language can do just as well. Are there times, we don't want to know what happened or simply too afraid to ask? Or, do we prefer a little mystery in our life for that extra excitement?

*She Has Destroyed My Fishing Pleasure!*

Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat to the truck, and backed out into a torrential downpour.

The wind was blowing 50 mph. I drove back into the garage, turned on the car radio and discovered that the weather was going to be bad all day long.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different purpose in mind, and whispered " The weather out there is horrible ! "

My loving wife of twenty years replied, " Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in this crap ? "

I still don't know to this day whether she was joking, but I have given up fishing.

Foongpc, what is it about fishing, do you know? I have friends who have been at it for years - with a cooler of beer at their side, of course. I sometimes, think it's the beer. Or perhaps some quiet time to think (and scheme)? LOL!
